Hrt after ablation confusion!!

1 reply

Anniewanny11 · 01/09/2022 15:38

hello …this is my first post. I have just started hrt two weeks ago . I had an endometrial ablation last year. My Dr prescribed the combined dose so 1 sachet estrogen in the morning and 1 100mg utogestan at night. I am feeling much worse than when I started with extreme tiredness , I’m finding it hard to function….and there seems to be some confusion when I’ve looked into it if I should be taking it sequentially after an ablation but the internet is short on info for women taking it after ablation.
Can anyone in this situation advise? My pharmacy told me to ask Dr but haven’t been able to speak to her directly . She told the receptionist that I should have the dose of each every day. I reacted badly last year to the progesterone side of things when I was taking it only for two weeks , that’s why she has put me in this …although I know I’m on a smaller dose everyday ,would I be better just taking it for 14 days and would it be safe to do so? Things I’ve read suggest my Dr has got it wrong prescribing continuously please can anyone help?I was having regular periods but for 14 days a month and suffering anemia that’s why I had the ablation , but advice seems to be directed only at women who do or don’t have periods, but not to those of us who have had this operation!

thanks so much in advance x

Can't offer any advice but I'm in the same situation. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along soon to help us out.
